My experience in teaching covers a wide spectrum of academic  fields.  I teach English language and literature, Shakespeare, poetry analysis, communication classes and memory association techniques.  In addition, I tutor for more specific exams such as TOEFL, SAT, and the KPDS.

For seven years I have also taught TOK (Theory and knowledge).  Writing classes and essay guidance being an area which I enjoy the most.   Over the past years I have become a university and language school adviser, sending many Turkish students to universities in the USA and Europe.  One of my students has now returned from Princeton, the Ivy league university in the United States.  Working for the famous and intellectual higher society of Istanbul has given me a wealth of experience.  The families and professionals that I have worked for have become people I consider to be my friends as well as my respected colleagues.  In February 2009 I relocated to Kusadasi where I teach at the private Naci Akdogan College.  I continue to write for various magazines abroad and occasionally work for Pigment Productions the greeting card company in the UK.  For the last year I have been working with music producers, writing lyrics for songs for artists in Australia and England.  Being able to converse in Turkish has also given me a deeper and meaningful insight into Turkish culture and therefore I have met many interesting people that I feel privileged to have crossed paths with, in my life here.

After meeting my new treasured dolphin friends and Alex at Adalands dolphin park I decided to contribute a regular column for the Turkey Herald to create awareness for this magical and beautiful species.  Hope you enjoy the features and always welcome your comments… 

May even find the time to write up the occasional restaurant review too!
